Mother's Canton was once a farming guild on Ferrymellow. Unfortunately, with the destruction of the island, the company and its holdings are history. Instead, it was reformed in Epitome as a food processing and packaging company. It has facilities for butchery, sausage-making, canning, and pasteurization, among others. The company has been investigated numerous times by the Council of Chairs for health violations, but whether they are innocent or just sneaky is a matter of speculation.
It has a well-known rivalry with Epitome's Academy of Culinary Arts, whose focus on fine-dining, exotic ingredients, and artistic presentation often puts it beyond the means of the working class, who find Mother's Canton's familiar and affordable cuisine to be far more appealing.
